View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This is a crossover phase 4 study to evaluate the impact of blood flow restriction on immunometabolism and gene expression in immune cells in individuals undergoing rehabilitation from anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Interventions

DEVICE

AirBand

The AirBands will be placed at each of the two training sessions and inflated while an ultrasound probe is placed over the femoral artery. The cuff will be inflated until the artery reaches 60% occlusion. The force will be applied using a wireless Bluetooth signal; participants will not be asked to adjust the device. Participants will be observed by a certified Personal Therapist throughout the training session in order to determine compliance and ensure safety as is standard protocol for a physical therapy session.

DEVICE

uninflated AirBand

Uninflated AirBand will be used as the control intervention during the session in which BFR is not performed
